Item #108649 Icebergs [British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition, 1929-31]. BANZARE, Frank HURLEY.

Icebergs [British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition, 1929-31]

A vintage gelatin silver photograph (visible image size 300 × 379 mm) recently matted, framed and glazed (external dimensions 505 × 630 mm). Minimal conservation to a long thin scratch in an upper portion of sky, with a couple of trifling surface marks elsewhere in the same region; overall, an impressive image in very good condition.

A less dramatic image of the same iceberg is contained in the extensive Hurley archive in the National Library of Australia. It is captioned 'Iceberg encountered by the "Discovery", 900 miles north of the Antarctic continent, ca. 1930' (PIC/3410 Album 285). Provenance: Sir Douglas Mawson; by descent.
